A Wool cassock? :eek: Wow. I've never seen one. I'm sure they're gorgeous, but given how hot it's been around here last week, I can't fathom wearing one.


And $40/m?? Really? Well, maybe you're right... I haven't been fabric shopping for a while.

For buying one... best prices I know for such is through Autom. www.automonline.com (http://www.automonline.com)

They are a large supplier for both devotional and church supplies. Personally, I buy many of my vestments through them since their prices are so good. Prices for an acolyte cassock would be about $40.00. For clergy cassocks it's about $110.00.
